Mr: thistice LE 13 . r.ANc recapitulated the evidence with great precision ; the charge, he said, rested sole ly on the accuracy of the recollection of Allen, ss - t.d the identity of the pi isoner. As=to the robbery itself, there could be no doubt ' and there did not a ppear any grounds to suppose that he bad fabricated a story with - the view to take away the life of the prisoner for the purpose of obtaining the reward; though the prisoner has imputed that motive to -both the wit nesses, but these are motives which persons in his situation often feel disposed to impute to their prosecutor s . It was a c i rcumstance f a ' vourable to the, prisoner that no_ property of the prosecutor's was found in his possession ; the other corroborating circumstances were rather of a slight kind. The Jury would ser iously consider ihe whole of the case, and if they thought they could satelfr rely on the accuracy of the prosecutor, corroborated as it was bpairby, they would find him guilty ; if they felt any doubt upon the Subject, they would let the prisoner- have the benefit of that doubt, 314 find a verdict Of acquittal. The -July recited to - consider of their verdict, and on returning intd Court, pronounced the prisoner —Not Guilty. The prisoner was a tall genteel-looking man, of dark complexion, and rather strong features.

George Wardle Dent was charged with assaulting John Allen on the highway near Malton, And taking from his ptrs•in a watch, and a half crowd piece and some silver, on the evening of the 1 Ith October last. Mr. John Allen stated, that he lived at Hildenley, in the serviet of Mr. Strickland, and came to Mahon fair on the tt th 06tober last, and left Malton between . seven and eight - o'clock in the evening, on his return home. When he got about equarter of a mile from Malton he saw a man standing on the road, who advanced towards him,- and the moment he got to him presented a pistol, and said.—" Your money." The witness put out his hand, to ward off the pistol; upon which the person said, " Don't hesitate a m , went, or give the leagt alarm." Witness then gave him crown, a sixpence, and four. or five shillings. A pistol was held to his face. The prisoner then demanded his watch, and again said, " Don't hesitate, or make the least alarm." Witness then gave him his watch. Prisoner tl , en told him to go forward, and not- make any alarm, but soon called to him and said, " Is this all the money you have got ?--Your pocket-book." Witness said he had no other money aboUt him, and the prisoner, alter passing his hand idown his waist, and. pockets, suffered him to depart, again cautioning him not to make any alarm, saying, " I shall stop the first person I meet on the. road.", Witness said, the person that stopped him was dress in a dirk jacket and light-coloured trowsers, and a soldier's cap, or hat cut away in imitation of one.. The whole of the trsty•aCaion occupied about five or six minutes, and he had an opportunity of obServing the counte nance of theperson who rubbed him, andwas certain: both from biS countenance and voice, that the prisoner was the person. It was not inomlislo, bin from the light of the stars he could see stifficiently to indentify the prisoner. 'Witness said he saW the prisoner again on the Sunday following, at Mahon, arJames Davison's, .and as soon as he saw him he said he was the man who had robbed him; and on hearing him speak, he recognized the voice as being the voice of the person who had deManded his money. The prisoner said, " Are you the man,. that is come to swear to me ?" and -on witness saying he was, prisoner said he had never seen' the Witness before, and asked him when he bad been robbed ? and when the witness had, informed him', 'the prisoner said he wi , s that evening at the Theativ. The prisoner was asked several questions, as to the play than was performed?—he teplked the play was " Man and Wife," and " Blue Beard" was the after-piece. • It appeared from some evidence 'afterwards pro duced, that this play and entertainment were announced in the bills of the dam, but one of the perforthers having'become suddenly indisposed, the play of " The Stranger" was substituted: Mr. 'Ulric ct oss-examined the witness, John Allen, at considerable 'length : he said he had never told any person that he could not swear to the _person of the prisoner ; that he had been at three public-houses in the course of tf,e afternoon, but was perfectly sober. Witness also admitted that on -his first examination he had not mentioned the num LOY DON : Printed by RICHARD HARRIS, 0, No. 4, Martlett.oowt, Bow-street; and Published ,by WILLIAM A RMI GER SCRIPPS, South Moiton.stteei G ruF valor scrum At the SUN..OFFICB, No. i 12, Stroud. where Advertisements, Orders. for the Paper, Laters for the Editor, &c. (post-pszia), must be addressed. . . , bet of his watch correctly, but the neki morning having procured it from the watchmaker, he amend ed his toriner, statement. He also s t a t e d th a t t h e night was not rainy, though there had been some rain -in the course of the afternoon. Had heard of a reward from the prisoner's wife of 401. for the conviction of a highwayffian, but did not believe it. The prisoner's lodgings were searched, but no pro perty belonged to him was found. John Kirby, was at Mahon on the 11th of Odober, and on returning towards Castle-Howard, Qll the same road as stated by the last witness, he saw the prisoner at the bar, between seven or eight o'clock in the evening, about a mile from Malton had an opportunity 'both of seeing him, and hearing him speak, and was sure the prisoner was the person he met. Witness described his dress in exactly the • f.aine terms as the proceeding witness. On the following Sunday he went with Allen to see the prisoner, 'who was in custody at Jatues,Davison's. Witness underwent a long cross-examination, but it did not materially vary from the preceding state ment. Witness said he had not told any person he should not know the person who had robbed him, but on the contrary always said he should know him. Thomas Milner stated, that he found in a stack of hay on the road from Malton to Hildenly, a red jacket, light-coloured trowsers, and a hat cut away to resemble a soldier's cap, and which he produced in C6uit. Some evidence was given respecting the alteration of the play, and the account which the pri.oner gave of it,' which we have introduced into Allen's evidence. The - person with whom he first took lodgiogi at Mahon, proved .that he left them the morning of the 6th of October, saying he was going to Will:, James ...Davison stated; that he was a baker at 'Mallon, and that the prisoner and his wife came to lodge at his house, on Friday the 6th of October, bete be lodged t ill he was apprehended. On the the night el the IWI of October, prisoner went out, sad nig he was going to the play. The night %t as dark' and hazy after eight o'clock, and in his okrailun, there %% as not light to discover any thing. The prisoner went -out annul halt past sit- o'clock : No - secrecy was, observed as to the prisoner's lthigitt. i - ne prisoner, being called upon for his defence, , p ro o ,, ced a written paper, which he requested leave to,: read, and which he rrad or . •rather recited in an impressive manner; tl►is defence occupied more than halt an hour in the delivery. He be gan with lamenting the extremely unfortunate si tuation in which. he was placed; d.preCated the effects of that prejudice which had been artfully excited against him, and' protested his entire innocence of the crime with which hestood charged,. which he imputed to interested perjoryz He thi n entered into a history of his life previous to liis appre henSion, from which it appeared that he was educated as an attorney's etc' k, but from some cause hod been. ILI Own out Of employment, and that he lald gone to Mahon to procure employment in his profession, or io set. up a must: shop, as ne might deem it expedient; but the near approach of the fair being represented as unfaitourable at that moment for any steps .to be taken, he took a temporary lodging, which he after wards exchanged for, a more convenient one ; at:d that at the time the robbery was alleged io be corn- mitted, he was at the theatre : he then recited the alteration which had taken pbec in the pettorturee, which he adduced as a proof of his being there. Ti.e prisoner made some strong observations on the inac curacy of Allen reipecting the number of hiS watch ; the declaration that be had made, that he did nut know the prson who had robbed him, and his say ing, though. he could distinguish the voice of the person who had robbed him, he could not tell whe ther it was the voice of a South or a, North countiy man,. only that it was a base voice; " which, whe ther it be ornot," said the prisoner, " the Jury and Court can best determine." In the course of his defence he introduced the following pasiage from the defence of Eugene Aram " Permit me here, my Lord,' to call upon ma lignity itself, so long and cruelly busied in this pro- secution, to charge upon me any immorality of which prejodice was not the author. No, my Lord concerted not schemes of fraud, projected no violence, injured no man's person or property. And I humbly conceive my notice of this, espe cially at this time, will not be thought impertinent, or unseasonable ; but, at least, deservilig some attention :—Because, my' Lord, that any person, after a temperate use of life, a series of thinking_ and acting regularly, and without one single devia,. kin 'from sobriety, shOUld" plunge into the very depth of profligacy preeipitately and at once, is al together improbable -and onprecedented, and abso lutely inconsistent with the course of things. Man kind' are never corrupted at once; villainy is always progressive, and declines from right, stsp after step, till every regard of probity is lost, and -.every sense . of moral obligation totally perishes." The prisoner at .the conclusion reverted' again to the prejudices which he supposed existed against him, And said, " Whatever may be the private opinion of any persoh of George Wardle Dent, I trust you, Gentlemen of the Jury, will not convict Mc upon :evidence which Would be thought insufli,lent any other case. To strain a point to save a prisoner, may result from the liest of feelings; but to strain a point to convict, to dist roy, is a degree of cruelty of which lam sue you: are iocapable. Whatever be your vet ict, I snail Lobtnii to it ; and if it should consign me to infamy and to death, and ,my wife and helpless and tinprovlded ofripring to utter ruin, 1 shall bow to the .4 ill of Ilvaren. Yet surely even then some one will driip the te• t . of sympatliy over mY untime ly and unmet ited.fzue ; and it may then be discover - ed that I have fallen a victim to interested perjury. But, Gentlemen, I ant tco full of confidence in your justice and discrifnination to anticipate so fatal a result. I leave my life in youi hands, knowing that ob will pronounce upon my case 'with that tender caution which good men always feel when they are to pronounce on the life of a fellow crea ture." Ann Bentley was called, on the part of the pri• soner : she stated, that John Allen, the prosecutor, said,. in her hearing, that he could not swear to the prisoner by any thing except his voice. / Kirby,, the other witness, was also present, but said nothing upon the subjet,t. Witness came with the prisoner's wife to York.
